Recent Developments - Termination of Tax Indemnity Fund and Distribution to Investors
On March 27, 2013, the Company announced that the period for filing tax indemnity claims will expire on July 31, 2013. If investors intend to file tax indemnity claims, they are urged to do so immediately. A tax indemnity claim received after July 31, 2013 will not be processed. Only investors who have been reassessed by the Canada Revenue Agency and who are required to pay tax in respect of the 2005 year are eligible to submit a tax indemnity claim (if such investors have not already submitted a tax indemnity claim). Investors who have not been reassessed in respect of the 2005 year are not required to take any action.
After July 31, 2013, the Company will redeem for cancellation the issued and outstanding non-voting common shares of the Company. The redemption amount per non-voting common share is an amount equal to: (A) the total amount of cash or cash equivalents standing to the credit of SWEF Terrawinds, less (i) the amount required to redeem the outstanding preferred shares in the capital of SWEF Terrawinds (being $100 in aggregate); and (ii) an amount equal to the existing and contingent liabilities determined by the directors of SWEF Terrawinds in good faith; divided by (B) the total number of outstanding non-voting common shares. The redemption is expected to occur prior to the end of 2013.
Results of Operations
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $479 thousand compared to a net loss of $1,128 thousand for the same period in fiscal 2011. The decrease in net loss of $649 thousand is due primarily to a decrease in tax indemnity payments and related deferred tax recovery when comparing the year ended December 31, 2012 to the same period ended December 31, 2011.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $96 thousand, compared to $89 thousand for the same period in fiscal 2011. The increase in interest income of $7 thousand is due to more favorable interest rates on short term investments held by the Company in 2012.
Professional fees and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $313 thousand compared to $374 thousand for the same period in fiscal 2011. The reduction in professional fees is attributable to lower levels of activity during the current fiscal year and IFRS conversion efforts undertaken by the Company in the prior year, which did not recur in the current year.
Deferred income tax recovery for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $173 thousand, compared to a recovery of $346 thousand for the same period in fiscal 2011. The deferred income tax recovery for the year ended December 31, 2012 arises due to the tax indemnity claims made in the period. The recovery decreased by $173 thousand due to fewer tax indemnity claims made in 2012 when compared to 2011.
